Day 66 and 67 in Sarajevo

A short stay in Sarajevo turned out to be a bit longer than first expected. I met a lot of nice and fun people and just had to hang around for a while longer. We have been doing some sightseeing, I have gone to a museum or two, seen the spot where the Habsburger heir was shot, a museum on the War in the 90’s, a football game between Bosnia and Turkey on big-screen (people here really needs Hero’s badly!). Gotten a bit of a sense for the culture in the country… definitely a more macho mood than I am used to and… well… just seen things 🙂

Souvenirs in Sarajevo… pens that looks like bullets…

In what other country in Europe would a sign saying “Mr Sexy” be a fun a cool thing to put on your car? (Or miss Sexy further down 😉

 

This is where the first world war started… with the shootings in Sarajevo…

Me and a cool CS-girl that I was hanging out with during my stay in the city.

Since Bosnia is a Muslim country they had a lot of really cool Mosques, and since it was Ramadan almost no-one was drinking alcohol even in pubs (there are some Christians in town as well… but mainly Muslims)

  

I love this picture because of the windows… the top left is a really new wooden window, the two ones to the right are really old murky wood and down to the left is one ornamented in gold and is really fancy… and yepp… there are of course the traditional bullet holes in the wall as well…

Three Swiss girls I was also hanging out with a lot when in town.

    

This picture kind of shows how Sarajevo still looks like… 15 years after the war.

Want some ice cream? Why not try the red bull flavor… (was actually better than I had expected…)

   

Me, the Swiss girls and Alen our local Bosnian guide (CS:er). He was really cool and showed us around the whole town and told us a lot about life in Sarajevo.

 

Watching the football game Bosnia/Turkey (it was a draw which was really good for Bosnia… there where a lot of firecrackers going on when there was a goal :-D)

  

Afterwards everyone was celebrating here… look at the guy to the left climbing up the building to join the others standing on the top of the balcony… these guys where crazy… 😀

 

One not so lucky guy fell down and hit his head… so the police is there until the ambulance arrives… the police where quite brutal btw… wouldn’t like to go to a Bosnian prison…
